Fines don't work on people like this but crushing their precious penis substitute does.<br /><br />Speed limits on the motorways should be at least 80 ( as they are by default) but rather than messing about we should make this leagal.<br /><br />As for the arseholes in Anglesey well they seem to have got away- but I reckon decent police work should be able to track them down!Tiptopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-82468190675430848312015-02-21T22:10:19.286+00:002015-02-21T22:10:19.286+00:00And, of course, nobody bats an eyelid in Germany. ...And, of course, nobody bats an eyelid in Germany. <br />"All right, nobody died" and there was no accident or anybody close to being injured. Yet we have just had two horrendous accidents with HGVs in Glasgow and now Bristol at low speeds with many deaths.

The real owners, knowing the fortune it would cost to mend a dent or scratch, may be more careful.<br /><br />Btw, the national speed limit is actually 60mph so I trust the near motorway standard of the road did not lull your wife into excess speed herself. You mention "sixty-something". (I do realise that a couple of sections of the A55 have a special legal status and 70mph is permitted despite not being a motorway.)Nationalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298563601180545788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-15147238091772394702015-02-20T18:01:34.309+00:002015-02-20T18:01:34.309+00:00If they had known you're a magistrate, they wo...If they had known you're a magistrate, they would probably have stuck two fingers upas they went past. <br /><br />I know the feeling though, seeing somebody do something stupid on the road makes me wish I had blues and twos.Biscuitnoreply@blogger.com
